In what sense? Do you want to know if they are considered treatment free by this forum's standards?

The purpose is to define the topic. Everyone keeps their hives however they like and no one is setting rules as to how anyone can keep their bees. The Treatment-Free Beekeeping Forum is not a standard or a certification program or a benchmark. It is a forum with the purpose of discussing how to keep bees without helping them cope with disease.

The definition is there. You may evaluate your own operation at your leisure.
